Our Mission

Covenant to Care for Children channels the generosity of caring and faithful people to advocate for, and provide direct assistance to Connecticut’s children who are neglected, abused and/or impoverished.

Our Vision Statement

Covenant to Care for Children works to create a future where Connecticut’s children have caring families and safe places to live, and all people of faith demonstrate their own personal commitment to the welfare of children.

Covenant to Care for Children is pleased to announce that it is an official charity for the 2017 Eversource Hartford Marathon. On Saturday, October 14th, runners, charities, and volunteers will come together for a display of community spirit.

CCC needs your help to make this day successful. Here’s how you can help:

Get your friends together as a team of runners and fundraise for CCC. Runners can register here. Please email or call the office, (860) 243-1806, for the code to receive a discount on the entry fee.

Consider being a volunteer at the event with members of the staff, Board of Directors, and other friends of CCC. We’ve been assigned to the Hartford Course Section (Old State House section), from 7AM to 11AM. If you are interested in volunteering, please email for additional information.

Faith-based or community organizations agree to covenant in which they partner with a particular social worker in Connecticut to, as far as is possible, provide for the necessary and special items needed for all of the children in that social worker’s caseload. This augments the provisions of the State, often assuring greater stability in the life of a child.

Critical Goods is our response to the needs of families who are at-risk of losing their children, or who are being reunified with their children and must have certain material goods before that can happen: beds, cribs, and household items.

We assist children and youth in their development and growth by helping them overcome the challenges of poverty and emotional distress. Donations of emergency and non-emergency goods are collected and delivered to families in an effort to foster safe and nurturing home environments for the children.

This program accepts donor designated funds for the special needs of children. Social workers can request these funds to meet needs, which are not met by State Government departments, other agencies, or our other CCC programs. Examples are camp experiences, haircuts, lessons, tutoring, school uniform and supplies, or other aids.

Children create art masks, to express a wide range of emotions and help them work through conflicts and traumas. There is an array of outcomes with the children's masks ranging from the whimsical to the evocative. While expressing themselves in this visual way, the children gain a sense of empowerment that can help them develop a positive self-image and improve their self-esteem.

CCC would like to say a very belated thank you to our friends, the campers and counselors from Camp Washington, who have once again exceeded our expectations by helping us to help some of Connecticut’s disadvantaged kids get ready for the new school year.This year, with 10 less people, our volunteers were able to unbox, unpack, unzip, stuff with school supplies, rezip and rebox over 500 backpacks which were donated statewide to Connecticut's neediest children to help them get ready for the new school year. This was accomplished in a little over an hour and a half. A remarkable feat!CCC truly appreciates the energy, unbelievable organization, cooperation and enthusiasm of all these wonderful young people.We hope to have the Camp Washington volunteers come back in the summer of 2018.Thank you all so much!! ...
